News from the Dance Studies Association:

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Nadine George-Graves has accepted the position of Co-Editor at Dance Research Journal (DRJ). A biography of Dr. George-Graves can be found directly below this announcement. This marks an important change in the editorial structure of DRJ. Prior to this appointment, DRJ had an Editor-in-Chief and, more recently, an Associate Editor to work in support of the Editor. Given the considerable workload of producing three issues a year, the DSA Board supported a move to two Co-Editors to balance the responsibility in an equitable way. Therefore Dr. George-Graves joins Dr. Rebekah Kowal (formerly the Associate Editor and now Co-Editor) in heading the editorial helm of DRJ, and we warmly appreciate their service to DSA and the field of dance studies more broadly. Both are committed to all of the missions of DSA, including the dismantling of white supremacism and anti-Black racism, recognizing this work as integral to the journal’s commitment to advancing knowledge in the field of dance studies. At this point, we would also like to acknowledge the considerable labor of Professor Helen Thomas who has completed her term-of-office as Editor-in Chief of DRJ. Professor Thomas has worked tirelessly in this position, and prior to this role was Chair of the DRJ Editorial Board. DSA warmly thanks Professor Thomas for her extensive service to the field.
